Designed and implemented four new laboratory protocols. Fall 20913 and spring 2014. Coordinated major changes to the BME Undergraduate curriculum in 2012 and 2013. Increased the entrance requirements for the BME Undergraduate curriculum in 2013. American Society of Engineering Education Conference and Exposition, Atlanta GA. June 23-26, 2013. BME Council of Chairs Educational Workshop at the BMES Conference in Austin TX. October 6, 2010. Participating in the Q’BIC (Quantitative Biology in the Classroom) program funded by the NIH Attended the BMES Biomedical Engineering Educational Summit. St Charles, IL, 2008. Helped the TERRA Environmental Research Institute Magnet High School in Miami to develop a

laboratory curriculum for their sophomore and junior biomedical students. Attended and presented a paper to the International Conference on Engineering Education in San

Juan, Puerto Rico, July, 2006 Served on the committee to develop the BS Biomedical Engineering curriculum at FIU. Serve as the Undergraduate Program Director for Biomedical Engineering and had a major role in the

successful ABET accreditation 2005, 2008, and 2015. Designed and implemented two undergraduate student laboratory courses in which students learn to

execute and analyze research level experiments. Worked closely with the laboratory instructor and other faculty in the Department to design 5 laboratory exercises for each course. The exercises incorporate current faculty research and utilize state-of-the-art research equipment.

Developed a Minor in Biomedical Engineering for Non-Engineering Majors. Developed the Honor’s Curriculum for Biomedical Engineering. Attended the 2005 Whitaker Foundation Biomedical Engineering Educational Summit. Washington, DC Attended the ABET Workshop at the Biomedical Engineering Society meeting. Philadelphia, PA, 2004 Attended the 2000 Whitaker Foundation Biomedical Engineering Educational Summit. Washington, DC

to present our Clinical Rotations for Biomedical Engineers course. To expose the students to “real world” bioengineering, I invited speakers from our Biomedical

Engineering Industry Partners to speak to the students in the EGM 4580 class and the entire college to these lectures. I also coordinated visits by the EGM 4580 (Principles of Bioengineering) students to biotechnology companies.

New courses developed and initially team-taught (course numbers may have since changed): BME 3700: Engineering Analysis of Biological Systems I BME 3701: Engineering Analysis of Biological Systems II

Major Course Modifications Redesign of BME 4050L and BME 4051L Undergraduate Laboratory courses in 2013, 2014 and 2015 Modified the Senior Design Course Sequence (BME 4800 - Design of Biomedical Systems and Devices

and BME 4908 - Senior Design Project) to satisfy FIU Global Learning requirements in 2012. Organized a one-hour per week lecture for BME 4908 (Senior Design Project) which brings invited

guests from industry to provide lectures on engineering practice in 2008. Added a one hour per week tutorial to BME 2740 (Modeling and Simulation) and BME 3710 (Data

Evaluation Principles) in 2007. Offering all courses web-assisted through Moodle in 2011 and then Blackboard in 2012. “Flipped” BME 3721 in fall 2014 and BME 2740 in spring 2015 with pre-recorded lectures so that in-

class could be spent working problems and concentrating on more difficult concepts.
